MIAMI — An all-time great basketball player coming off one of his best seasons asks his team to trade him and puts the Miami Heat on a very short list of desired landing spots. Pat Riley spends his Hall of Fame career whale hunting, and suddenly a king-of-the-ocean-sized whale, Kevin Durant, is hunting him.
Imagine that? Yes. Imagine that.
Durant pointing at the Heat and saying, “Let’s play?” That’s Miami being given a road map to a winning Powerball ticket. Doesn’t mean you get it, but it sure does cut down on the odds against.
